Just as Li Zhen was hesitating, a huge emerald green appeared in the sky, like a forest falling down.
One, two, all thirteen figures stood straight on the Emerald Ridge.
Only then did everyone see clearly what was in front of them,
The trunk of the tree stretched straight to the sky, and above the branches were dense foliage, which was as tall as a cyclops.
Thirteen giant trees, like thirteen moats, firmly encircled the Emerald Ridge.
Suddenly, the huge canopy of the tree towered, revealing two dark green eyes, and then the nose and mouth appeared one by one, the trunk of the tree became ears, the branches turned into arms, and the fluffy leaves at the top of the tree shook a few times, forming a dense strand of hair.
The roots under his feet squirmed, and finally formed tentacles that stuck to the Emerald Ridge, and in an instant, a large tree had turned into a giant tree-like creature.
Shepherd!
The magical creature that the 10,000-year-old tree can transform into, a life race known for its seclusion, appeared alive in front of everyone at this time.
And it's still thirteen.
In the center of the thirteen shepherds, a figure in a black robe slid down the long vine and landed directly on Li Zhenshu's shoulder, it was Merck who had not been gone long ago.
"Jade Lord, I have brought you thirteen friends. Merck smiled faintly.
Li Zhenshu was very incomprehensible, isn't this kind of creature in a state of seclusion, how could there be so many at once, and the most central one, the canopy is extremely rich, the bark is densely wrinkled, the roots of the tree are old, and the cultivation is vaguely at the level of gods and demons, it should be at least 50,000 years old, such an old shepherd can be described as a historical relic, how can he easily come to the Emerald Ridge.
"How did you find so many shepherds?"
Merck smiled and casually took out a list from his pocket, "As long as you have money, you can do a lot of things, this is a loan from the Chris's Imperial Royal City Auction House." β
Li Zhenshuo took a look, and what caught his eye was the number of 70,000 yuan stones, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, not because of how huge this number was, compared to the thirteen antique-level shepherds in front of him, it was too cheap, what he was laughing at was those elves, and the shepherds were also friends of the forest, could they bear to send them to the slave farm in vain.
They also claim to be the darlings of the forest.
Money can really do whatever you want.
Li Zhenshu felt the benefit of this sentence at this moment, and casually took the slave contract handed over by Merck and walked towards the eldest shepherd.
There is a trace of resentment in the eyes of the old shepherds, and there is a trace of unwillingness, they are peace-loving, but they do not have many means of attack, so they will live in seclusion, but they did not expect that even if they live in seclusion in the mountains, they will not escape the fate of becoming slaves.
"I need your help. Li Zhen raised the slave contract in his hand and said directly.
The old shepherd's mood was very low, "Master!", he cried out unwillingly, "I can do anything for you, please don't embarrass my child." β
Li Zhenshuo didn't want to talk too much nonsense, and pointed to the huge vine in the distance, "Communicate with this vine, I know that he is wise." β
At this moment, the old shepherd saw the vines piercing into the void, and couldn't help but be stunned, and two drops of oil flowed out of his oily green pupils.
"Mother vine?"
Regardless of Li Zhenshu's objections, the tentacles turned into legs and feet quickly rushed towards the pea vine, the slender branches hugged the vine tightly, and the big fluffy face full of leaves directly attached to it, and seemed to enjoy it very much.
Li Zhenshu had never seen the tree man have such a warm expression, let the other party hug and hug him, perhaps because he finally felt his embarrassment, he turned around and respectfully saluted Li Zhenshu, "Respected lord, I am really glad that you can contribute to the revival of the Life Clan, and I offer my most sincere respect on behalf of the Patriarch of the Life Clan." β
There was no fear in his demeanor, but on the contrary, he was an elder who had experienced endless years, full of hope and gratitude.
Li Zhenshu hurriedly bowed, "I'm sorry, patriarch, in fact, I didn't do anything, to be exact, I didn't know what a life clan was before I met you." β
The patriarch shook his head, "The Life Clan is our own name, we consider ourselves to be the children of the World Tree, so the World Tree is our mother, every grass, every tree, and every flower are all children of the World Tree just like us, so we are wise, but it is difficult to express." β
Li Zhenshu completely agreed with his thoughts, and in his heart, he also believed that flowers and plants had thoughts, but their thoughts were not on the same track as those of living beings.
"Your Lord, you want me to help you communicate with Muto-sama. ", asked the Shepherd Patriarch.
Li Zhen nodded tremblingly, "Is it difficult?"
"No, it's very simple, just give you the status of an alien treeman. The patriarch of the shepherd said, and a vine stretched directly in front of Li Zhenshu, and a dark green slime grew at the tip of the vine, "Eat it, and you can hear the mother vine speak." β
Li Zhenshuo looked at the slime, a little disgusting, green like a moldy bug, but there was a faint fragrance.
Gently pick it up and put it in your mouth, there is no special taste, as if the water is melting in your mouth, the mucus is like a stomach, and you immediately feel a light on your body, as if something has been sucked away.
In an instant, he found that he could see very clearly, and he could even see some dogtail grass on the wasteland, and he could faintly hear some kind of flower signal from the bearer in the wind.
"It's snowing in the north. β
It seemed that a voice whispered in his ear, Li Zhenshu looked up at the north, there was not a single snowflake to be seen except for a large pile of dark clouds, but the cold air in the wind proved that it was really snowing in the north.
Walked through the crowd and walked straight to the vine that was attached to the void.
"Hello!"
Li Zhenshuo had never felt that his greeting was so awkward, and he looked at this huge vine blankly, eager to hear a little sound, even a word.
Call!
Call!
Except for the wind and the wind!
Just as Li Zhenshu asked again, a warm voice flowed into his ears.
"Hello!", very shy, very shy, like a two-year-old girl.
Li Zhen looked around blankly, there were no other creatures, it was himself, it was this vine.
"Do you recognize me?", when he asked this sentence, he suddenly felt a little nervous, as if he was on his first date.
"Master!"
"No, my name is Li Zhenshu!"
"Master!"
Li Zhenshuo corrected it several times in a row, but in the end, these two words would always pop up on the other party, he knew that the thinking of the vine had just developed, and it was far from the level of a normal being, so he had to change the topic, "What's your name?"
"Nope!"
"You and I will call you Xiaohua. β
"Hmm!"
Li Zhenshu stepped forward and stroked it, and a faint warmth swept across the tip of his hand, as if touching his own child, and there was an innate sense of intimacy.
He asked a lot of questions, but the complicated little flower couldn't answer them at all, so he could only do some simple communication, and of course, he could also carry out some ordinary commands.
Everyone watched the huge vines shake for a while, grow big leaves for a while, and secrete sap rapidly for a while, and every time the vines move a few times, Li Zhenshu will always laugh a few times.
If it weren't for the shepherd's explanation, this was Li Zhenshu's communication with the vines, he would probably think that their boss was crazy.
Li Zhen trembled as if he was tired of playing, perhaps because he was afraid that so many people were looking at him, so he turned around and handed the slave contract in hand to the shepherd, "Patriarch, I have a very important matter for you." β
The shepherd looked at the contract, and couldn't help but be stunned, although they stayed in the deep mountains and old forests, they also knew that this contract was related to their net worth and life, "You are already a foreign shepherd, you and I are originally of the same clan, so you don't need to use the word please." β
Seeing this, Li Zhenshu was not pretentious, and immediately said, "The magic vine is the most important thing in the wasteland, coupled with the particularity of the vine itself, as soon as the ordinary race gets close, it will teleport to the Haim continent, and only the life clan can settle on the vine, so I hope that the patriarch can take the tree herder to live on the vine, so as to maintain the safety of the vine itself, and of course, to be able to better manage this passage in the future." β
The patriarch of the shepherd was immediately overjoyed, "Even if the lord doesn't say it, I will also ask for it, to be able to settle in the void and avoid being disturbed by mundane things in the outside world, I can't ask for it, not only my race will settle down, but at the same time, I will also launch the call of the forest to migrate all the herdsmen to the mother vine." β
Hearing this news, Li Zhenshu was very happy, and immediately said, "Don't worry, as long as you are a herdsman, you can directly obtain the title of Emerald Resident and enjoy all the benefits of Emerald Ridge, and at the same time, I can guarantee that as the exclusive maintenance worker of this vine, one-tenth of the profits generated by this vine will be handed over to the herdsman to take care of." β
"No, no, no, I can't ask for this, you have already returned the slave contract to us, how can I take advantage of you. The old shepherd immediately waved his hand and refused.
Li Zhen shuddered and smiled, "The old patriarch should not shirk, this is the rule of the Jade Ridge, you will have to pay for your labor, so let's do it, your slave contract this time is worth 70,000 yuan, and it will be deducted in half from your salary first, although the old clan is high-spirited, but in the future, there will be more shepherds, so many creatures also have to eat and drink, don't tell me that the tree people are special and don't need energy." β
The old patriarch smiled awkwardly, "Indeed, our Shepherd Clan is very short of Void Spring Water, if we can have this rough stone from the Lord, we can build a few Void Wells at that time." β
